BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving signal in a communication system, and in particular, to an apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving signal in a communication system using a non-binary Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code.

2. Description of the Related Art

Next-generation communication systems have evolved from a packet service communication system for transmitting burst packet data to a plurality of Mobile Stations (MSs), with the packet service communication system being suitable for mass data transmission. Further, next-generation communication systems are considering an LDPC code, together with a turbo code, as a channel code. The LDPC code is known to have an excellent performance gain at high-speed data transmission, and advantageously enhances data transmission reliability by effectively correcting an error due to noise occurring in a transmission channel. Examples of next-generation communication systems considering the use of the LDPC code include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16e communication system, the IEEE 802.1in communication system, etc.

Reference will now be made to a signal transmission apparatus in a common communication system using an LDPC code.

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional signal transmission apparatus includes an encoder 111, a modulator 113 and a transmitter 115. If an information vector s to be transmitted occurs in the signal transmission apparatus, the information vector s is delivered to the encoder 111. The encoder 111 generates a codeword vector c, that is, an LDPC codeword by encoding the information vector s in an encoding scheme, and then outputs the generated codeword vector c to the modulator 113. The encoding scheme corresponds to an LDPC encoding scheme. The modulator 113 generates a modulation vector m by modulating the codeword vector c in a modulation scheme, and then outputs the generated modulation vector m to the transmitter 115. The transmitter 115 inputs therein the modulation vector m output from the modulator 113, executes transmission signal processing for the input modulation vector m, and then transmits the processed modulation vector m to a signal reception apparatus through an antenna.

Now, reference will be made to a signal reception apparatus in a common communication system using an LDPC code.

Referring to FIG. 2, a conventional signal reception apparatus includes a receiver 211, a demodulator 213 and a decoder 215. A signal transmitted by a signal transmission apparatus is received through an antenna of the signal reception apparatus, and the received signal is delivered to the receiver 211. The receiver 211 executes reception signal processing for the received signal to thereby generate a reception vector r, and then outputs the processed and generated reception vector r to the demodulator 213. The demodulator 213 inputs therein the reception vector r output from :the receiver 211, generates a demodulation vector x by demodulating the input reception vector r in a demodulation scheme corresponding to a modulation scheme applied to a modulator of the signal transmission apparatus, that is, the modulator 113, and then outputs the generated demodulation vector x to the decoder 215. The decoder 215 inputs therein the demodulation vector x output from the demodulator 213, decodes the input demodulation vector x in a decoding scheme corresponding to an encoding scheme applied to an encoder of the signal transmission apparatus, that is, the encoder 111, and then outputs the decoded demodulation vector x into a finally restored information vector ŝ. The decoding scheme, that is, an LDPC scheme, is a scheme using an iterative decoding process based on a sum-product process.

Meanwhile, a binary LDPC code is a code defined by a parity check matrix in which most elements have a value of 0, but a small minority of other elements have a non-zero value, for example, a value of 1. So, all elements of the parity check matrix of the binary LDPC code have one of a value of 0 or a non-zero value.

On the other hand, all elements of a parity check matrix of the non-binary LDPC code are elements on Galois Field (GF)(q). Here, “q” in GF(q) indicates the order of a GF, and q=2^(p). Thus, the non-binary LDPC code is a code defined by a parity check matrix in which most elements have a value of 0, but a small minority: of other elements are non-zero elements, for example, elements on GF(q).

Using a non-binary LDPC code has only been considered in the conventional art, but there is provided no specific solution has been provided, for example, for generating a parity check matrix of a non-binary LDPC code and encoding/decoding the non-binary LDPC code, and for transmitting/receiving a signal using the non-binary LDPC code. Accordingly, there is a need for such a solution to transmit/receive a signal using a non-binary LDPC code.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the similar components are designated by similar reference numerals although they are illustrated in different drawings. Also, in the following description, a description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may obscure the subject matter of the present invention. Further, it should be noted that only parts essential for understanding the operations according to the present invention will be described and a description of parts other than the essential parts will be omitted in order not to obscure the gist of the present invention.

The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for receiving signal in a communication system using a non-binary Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code. Further, although separately described and illustrated herein, it is clear that operation of transmitting/receiving signal using the non-binary LDPC code of the present invention can be applied to the signal transmission apparatus shown in FIG. 1 and the signal reception apparatus shown in FIG. 2.

In the present invention, a scheme based on a Richardson-Urbanke encoding scheme will be used as an encoding scheme for a non-binary LDPC code. In the present invention, a parity check matrix includes a plurality of sub-matrixes. Each of the plurality of sub-matrixes is a square matrix of size Z_(f)×Z_(f). A zero matrix or a non-binary essential matrix is arranged in each of the plurality of sub-matrixes. The non-binary essential matrix is generated by multiplying a vector including an element on a Galois Field (GF)(q=2^(p)) or an element with a permutation matrix. As previously described, q is an order of the GF, and q=2^(p). Each of the rows constituting a essential matrix has a weight of 1 and each of the columns constituting a essential matrix also has a weight of 1. The weight represents the number of a non-zero element.

Reference will now be made to a non-binary essential matrix, with reference to FIG. 3.

In FIG. 3, π represents a non-binary essential matrix, and each of a,b,c,d,e represents a non-zero element on GF(q=2^(p)).

As described above, in the present invention, a scheme based on a Richardson-Urbanke encoding scheme will be used as an encoding scheme for a non-binary LDPC code. Because the scheme based on a Richardson-Urbanke encoding scheme will be used as an encoding scheme for a non-binary LDPC code, an encoding complexity is minimized when a form of a parity check matrix is similar to a full lower triangular matrix. If a length of a non-binary LDPC code with a parity check matrix as a full lower triangular matrix is N, encoding complexity of a non-binary LDPC code linearly increases with respect to a length N (0(N)).

The biggest problem of the non-binary LDPC code having the parity check matrix as the full lower triangular matrix is that if a length of a sub-matrix is defined as Z_(f), Z_(f) parity nodes whose degrees are always 1 in a bipartite graph of the non-binary LDPC code are generated. The parity nodes with a degree of 1 cannot affect the performance improvement based on an iterative decoding. Therefore, a standard irregular non-binary LDPC code does not include a parity node with a degree of 1.

So, in the present invention, a parity check matrix of FIG. 4 will be assumed as a basic parity check matrix in order to design a parity check matrix such that it enables efficient encoding while not including a parity node with a degree of 1.

Referring to FIG. 4, a parity check matrix includes an information part and parity part. The information part represents a part of the parity check matrix, mapped to an information vector s, and the parity part represents a part of the parity check matrix, mapped to a parity vector P. The parity vector P includes a first parity vector P₁ and a second parity vector P₂ . The parity check matrix shown in FIG. 4 is different from a parity check matrix having a form of a full lower triangular matrix in a form of a parity part. In FIG. 4, a suffix m of a non-binary essential matrix on the information part represents a number of rows of a sub-matrix included in the parity check matrix, and a suffix n of a non-binary essential matrix on the information part represents a number of columns of a sub-matrix included in the parity check matrix. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the non-binary essential matrixes are arranged in the parity check matrix such that a weight of the information part is irregular.

In the present invention, for example, it is assumed that the non-binary essential matrix πis a non-binary cyclic matrix. The non-binary cyclic matrix can be expressed as Equation (1). Q=α ^(j) ·P ^(i),0≦j≦q−2,1≦i≦Z _(f)   (1)

In Equation (1), Q represents a non-binary cyclic matrix, αis a primitive element on GF(q=2^(p)), and P^(i) is a permutation matrix. The permutation matrix P^(i) is generated by cyclic-shifting a location of a value of 1 of each of the rows on an identity matrix by an i unit in a right direction.

The permutation matrix P^(i) will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

In FIG. 5, a permutation matrix P¹ is generated by cyclic-shifting a location of a value of 1 of each of rows on an identity matrix by an 1 unit in a right direction, and the permutation matrix P^(i) is generated by cyclic-shifting a location of a value of 1 of each of the rows on an identity matrix by an i unit in a right direction.

Next, a parity check matrix, when the non-binary cyclic matrix Q is applied to the parity check matrix, as shown in FIG. 4, will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

In FIG. 6, a size of the parity check matrix is determined based on a length and a coding rate of the non-binary LDPC code. If the length is N, and the coding rate is R, a size of the parity check matrix is N(1−R)×N when all rows of the parity check matrix are independent of one another. The parity check matrix shown in FIG. 6 includes M×n sub-matrixes. m represents the number of row of the sub-matrix included in the parity check matrix, and n represents the number of column of the sub-matrix included in the parity check matrix. Because a size of the sub-matrix is Z_(f)×Z_(f), the parity check matrix includes Z_(f)×m rows and Z_(f)×n columns.

In the parity check matrix of FIG. 6 comprised of the sub-matrixes, the selection of a sub-matrix is a very important factor for a performance improvement of the non-binary LDPC code, so that finding an appropriate selection criterion for the sub-matrix also becomes a very important factor.

A description will now be made of a method for generating a parity check matrix of a non-binary LDPC code based on the foregoing non-binary LDPC code.

In order to facilitate a method of generating a parity check matrix of the non-binary LDPC code and a method for encoding the non-binary LDPC code, the parity check matrix shown in FIG. 6 is assumed to be formed with 6 blocks, as shown in FIG. 7.

In FIG. 7, a parity check matrix of the non-binary LDPC code shown in FIG. 6 is divided into an information part ‘s’, a first parity part p₁, and a second parity part p₂. The information part ‘s’ represents a part of the parity check matrix, mapped to an actual information vector S during the process of encoding a non-binary LDPC code. The first parity part p₁ represents a part of the parity check matrix, mapped to an actual first parity vector P₁ during the process of encoding a non-binary LDPC code, and the second parity part p₂ represents a part of the parity check matrix, mapped to an actual second parity vector P₂ during the process of encoding a non-binary LDPC code.

Matrixes A and C correspond to blocks A and C of the information part ‘s’, matrixes B and D correspond to blocks B and D of the first parity part p₁, and matrixes T and E correspond to blocks T and E of the second parity part p₂. A process of simplifying a encoding method using the matrixes of the information part ‘s’, the first parity part p₁ and the second parity part p₂ will be described later.

When the parity check matrix is divided into an information part s, a first parity part p₁ and a second parity part p₂, as shown in FIG. 7, a codeword vector c can be divided into an information word vector s, a first parity vector p ₁ and a second parity vector p ₂. In this case, a product of the parity check matrix and the codeword vector c can be expressed as Equation (2) and Equation (3). As ^(T) +Bp _(T) +Tp ₂ ^(T)=0   (2) (ET ⁻¹ A+C)s ^(T)+(ET ⁻¹ B+D) p ₁ ^(T)=0   (3)

In Equation (2), T denotes a transpose operation, and in Equation (3), a part p ₁ ^(T) related to a first parity vector p ₁ can be calculated by p ₁ ^(T)=φ⁻¹(ET ⁻¹ A+C) s ^(T)(φ

ET ⁻¹ B+D)   (4)

In Equation (4), because the encoding complexity of the non-binary LDPC code is in proportion to the square of a size of a matrix φ, the present invention sets the matrix φ used for calculating the first parity vector p ₁ as an identity matrix I. By setting the matrix φ as an identity matrix I in this way, the encoding complexity of the non-binary LDPC code is minimized. With reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B, a description will now be made of a process of setting the matrix φ as an identity matrix I.

In FIGS. 8A and 8B, a matrix B^(T) represents a transpose matrix of the matrix B, and a matrix T⁻¹ represents an inverse matrix of the matrix T. The P^((i) ¹ ^(˜i) ² ⁾ represents ${\prod\limits_{1 = i_{1}}^{i_{2}}\quad P^{i_{1}}} = P^{\sum\limits_{1 = i_{1}}^{i_{2}}\quad a_{1}}$ as a product of a matrix P^(i) ¹ to a matrix P^(i) ² .

Because a matrix E includes all zero matrixes except one sub-matrix, a product of the matrix E and an inverse matrix T⁻¹ of the matrix T can be expressed as a product of the last row of the inverse matrix T⁻¹ of the matrix T and the last sub-matrix of the matrix E, as shown in Equation (5). $\begin{matrix} {{ET}^{- 1} = {\alpha^{j_{m}}{P^{i_{m}}\begin{bmatrix} {\alpha^{{- {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{y = 2}^{m - 1}\quad j_{y}}}P^{i_{2} \sim i_{m - 1}}{\vdots\cdots\vdots}} \\ {\alpha^{{- {\sum\limits_{l = w}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m - 1}\quad j_{r}}}P^{i_{w + 1} \sim i_{m - 1}}{\vdots\cdots\vdots\alpha}^{- k_{m - 1}}I} \end{bmatrix}}}} & (5) \end{matrix}$

If the product of the matrix E and an inverse matrix T⁻¹ of the matrix T is multiplied by the matrix B, the result can be expressed as shown in Equation (6). $\begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} {{{ET}^{- 1}B} = {{\alpha^{{- {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad j_{y}}}P^{\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad i_{y}}} +}} \\ {\alpha^{j_{y} - {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}} + {\sum\limits_{y = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad j_{r}}}P^{i_{y} + {\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad i_{r}}}} \end{matrix} & (6) \end{matrix}$

In Equation (6), W is an arbitrary natural number determined corresponding to a location of α^(j) ^(y) P^(i) ^(y) .

When the product of the matrix E and an inverse matrix T⁻¹ of the matrix T is multiplied by the matrix B, as shown in Equation (6), because the matrix B includes all zero matrixes except two sub-matrixes, multiplication is performed on only the two sub-matrixes in the matrix B, thereby simplifying calculation. If $\begin{matrix} {D = {{\alpha^{j_{x}}P^{i_{x}}} = {\alpha^{{- {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad j_{y}}}P^{\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad i_{y}}\quad{and}}}} \\ {{{{\alpha^{j_{y} - {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}k_{l}} + {\sum\limits_{y = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad j_{y}}}P^{i_{y} + {\sum\limits_{y = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad i_{y}}}} = I},}\quad} \end{matrix}$ then  ϕ ≈ ET⁻¹B + D = I. Therefore, the matrix φ becomes an identity matrix I. Equation (7) below briefly expresses the conditions that the matrix φ becomes an identity matrix I. $\begin{matrix} {\begin{matrix} {j_{x} \equiv {{- {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{m}\quad{j_{r}\left( {{{mod}\quad q} - 1} \right)}}}} \\ {i_{x} \equiv {\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{m}\quad{i_{r}\left( {{mod}\quad Z_{f}} \right)}}} \\ {{j_{y} - {\sum\limits_{l = w}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}} + {\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad j_{r}}} \equiv {0\left( {{{mod}\quad q} - 1} \right)}} \\ {{i_{y} + {\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad i_{r}}} \equiv {0\left( {{mod}\quad Z_{f}} \right)}} \end{matrix},} & (7) \end{matrix}$

As described with reference to Equation (7), if the matrix φ is set as an identity matrix I, an encoding process for the non-binary LDPC code can be simplified in its complexity. Also,  if $\begin{matrix} {{D \doteq {\alpha^{j_{x}}P^{i_{x}}}} = {\alpha^{j_{y} - {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}} + {\sum\limits_{y = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad j_{y}}}P^{{i_{y} + {\sum\limits_{y = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad i_{y}}}\quad}{and}}} \\ {{{\alpha^{{- {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} + {\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad j_{y}}}P^{\sum\limits_{y = 1}^{m}\quad i_{y}}} = I},\quad{{{{then}\quad\phi} \approx {{{ET}^{- 1}B} + D}} = {I.}}} \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the matrix φ becomes an identity matrix I. Equation (8) below briefly expresses the conditions that the matrix φ becomes an identity matrix I. $\begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} {j_{x} \equiv {j_{y} - {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}} + {\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{m}\quad{j_{r}\left( {{{mod}\quad q} - 1} \right)}}}} \\ {i_{x} \equiv {i_{y} + {\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{m}\quad{i_{r}\left( {{mod}\quad Z_{f}} \right)}}}} \end{matrix} \\ {{{\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad j_{r}} - {\sum\limits_{l = w}^{m - 1}\quad k_{l}}} \equiv {0\left( {{{mod}\quad q} - 1} \right)}} \end{matrix} \\ {{\sum\limits_{r = {w + 1}}^{m}\quad i_{r}} \equiv {0\left( {{mod}\quad Z_{f}} \right)}} \end{matrix} & (8) \end{matrix}$

As described with reference to Equation (8), if the matrix φ is set as an identity matrix I, an encoding process for the non-binary LDPC code can be simplified in its complexity.

IF i₂=i₃= . . . =i_(m−1)=0, Equation (7) and Equation (8) will be more simplified, and i_(x), i_(y) in Equation (7) and Equation (8) can be simplified as shown in Equation (9) and Equation (10). i _(x) ≡i ₁ +i _(m)(modZ _(f)),i _(m) +i _(y)≡0(modZ _(f))   (9) i _(x) ≡i _(y) +i _(m)(modZ _(f)),i _(m) +i ₁≡0(modZ _(f))   (10)

If condition as i_(m)=0 is applied to Equation (9) and Equation (10), Equation (9) and Equation (10) can be simplified as shown in Equation (11) and Equation (12). i _(x) ≡i ₁(modZ _(f)),i _(y)≡0(modZ _(f))   (11) i ₁≡0(modZ _(f)),i _(y) ≡i _(x)(modZ _(f))   (12)

By appropriately selecting the sub-matrixes of the entire parity check matrix as described above, the matrix multiplication for ET⁻¹ is relatively simplified, thereby facilitating the calculation for ET⁻¹As ^(T). In addition, the matrix φ becomes an identity matrix I, so that a calculation process for φ⁻¹ for calculating P₁ ^(T) is omitted.

Next, a process of encoding a non-binary LDPC code according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

In FIG. 9, in step 911, an encoder receives an information vector ‘s’ to be encoded into the non-binary LDPC code, and then proceeds to steps 913 and 915. In step 913, the encoder matrix-multiplies the received information vector ‘s’ by a matrix A of the parity check matrix (As), and then proceeds to step 917. Because the number of elements having a non-zero value located in the matrix A is much less than the number of elements having a value of 0, the matrix multiplication (As) of the information vector s and the matrix A of the parity check matrix can be achieved with a relatively small number of sum-product operations. In addition, in the matrix A, because a position where elements having a non-zero value are located can be expressed as an exponential multiplication of a position of a non-zero sub-matrix and a permutation matrix of the sub-matrix, the matrix multiplication can be performed with a very simple operation as compared with a random parity check matrix. In step 915, the encoder performs matrix multiplication (Cs) on a matrix C of the parity check matrix and the information vector ‘s’, and then proceeds to step 919.

In step 917, the encoder performs matrix multiplication (ET⁻¹As) on the matrix multiplication result (As) of the information vector ‘s’ and the matrix A of the parity check matrix, and a matrix ET⁻¹, and then proceeds to step 919. Because the number of elements having non-zero value in the matrix ET⁻¹ is very small as described above, if an exponent of a non-binary essential matrix as a sub-matrix is given, the matrix multiplication can be simply performed. In step 919, the encoder calculates a first parity vector p ₁ by adding the ET⁻¹As and the Cs (p ₁=ET⁻¹As+Cs), and then proceeds to step 921. The addition operation is an addition operation on GF(q). That is, the process up to step 919 is a process for calculating the first parity vector p ₁.

In step 921, the encoder multiplies a matrix B of the parity check matrix by the first parity vector p ₁ (B p ₁), adds the multiplication result (Bp ₁) to the As (As+Bp ₁), and then proceeds to step 923. If the information vector ‘s’ and the first parity vector p ₁ are given, they should be multiplied by an inverse matrix T⁻¹ of a matrix T of the parity check matrix to calculate a second parity vector p ₂. Therefore, in step 923, the encoder multiplies the calculation result (As+Bp ₁) of step 921 by the inverse matrix T⁻¹ of the matrix T to calculate the second parity vector p ₂ (p ₂=T⁻¹(As+Bp ₁)), and then proceeds to step 925. As described above, if the information vector ‘s’ of a non-binary LDPC code to be coded is given, the first parity vector p ₁ and the second parity vector p ₂ can be calculated, and as a result, all codeword vectors can be obtained. In step 925, the encoder generates a codeword vector ‘c’ using the information vector ‘s’, the first parity vector p ₁ and the second parity vector p ₂, and transmits the generated codeword vector ‘c’.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a description will be made of an apparatus for encoding a non-binary LDPC code according to the present invention.

In FIG. 10, an apparatus for encoding a non-binary LDPC code includes a matrix-A multiplier 1011, matrix-C multiplier 1013, a matrix-ET⁻¹ multiplier 1015, an adder 1017, a matrix-B multiplier 1019, an adder 1021, a matrix T⁻¹ multiplier 1023, and an assembler 1025.

If an input signal, i.e. an information vector ‘s’ to be encoded into a non-binary LDPC code, is received, the received information vector ‘s’ is input to the assembler 1025, the matrix-A multiplier 1011 and the matrix-C multiplier 1013. The matrix-A multiplier 1011 multiplies the information vector ‘s’ by a matrix A of the full parity check matrix, and outputs the multiplication result to the matrix-ET⁻¹ multiplier 1015 and the adder 1021. The matrix-C multiplier 1013 multiplies the information vector ‘s’ by a matrix C of the full parity check matrix, and outputs the multiplication result to the adder 1017. The matrix-ET⁻¹ multiplier 1015 multiplies the signal output from the matrix-A multiplier 1611 by a matrix ET⁻¹ of the full parity check matrix, and outputs the multiplication result to the adder 1017.

The adder 1017 adds the signal output from the matrix-Et⁻¹ calculator 1015 to the signal output from the matrix-C multiplier 1013, and outputs the addition result to the matrix-B multiplier 1019 and the assembler 1025. The adder 1017 performs the addition operation on GF(q). The signal output from the adder 1017 becomes a first parity vector p ₁.

The matrix-B multiplier 1019 multiplies the signal output from the adder 1017, i.e. the first parity vector p by a matrix B of the full parity check matrix, and outputs the multiplication result to the adder 1021. The adder 1021 adds the signal output from the matrix-B multiplier 1019 to the signal output from the matrix-A multiplier 1011, and outputs the addition result to the matrix-T⁻¹ multiplier 1023. The adder 1021, like the adder 1017, performs the addition operation on GF(q) on the signal output from the matrix-B multiplier 1019 and the signal output from the matrix-A multiplier 1011, and outputs the addition operation on GF(q) result to the matrix-T⁻¹ multiplier 1023.

The matrix-T⁻¹ multiplier 1023 multiplies the signal output from the adder 1021 by an inverse matrix T⁻¹ of a matrix T of the full parity check matrix, and outputs the multiplication result to the assembler 1025. The output of the matrix-T⁻¹ multiplier 1023 becomes a second parity vector p ₂.

The assembler 1025 generates a non-binary LDPC code as codeword vector c by assembling the information vector ‘s’, the first parity vectors p ₁, and the second parity vector p ₂.

As can be appreciated from the foregoing description, the present invention provides a solution of encoding a non-binary LDPC code, minimizing encoding complexity of the non-binary LDPC code, thereby contributing to increase of efficiency on transmitting/receiving signal in a communication system using the non-binary LDPC code.
